What about Women's issues in the country of Iran, where you were born? Have you seen Blago lately? How's Tony Rezko?

Any woman who votes GOP should have to spend time in Iran,Iraq,Saudi Arabia, etc. I refuse to be subjugated like my grandma was, and I will fight tooth and nail anyone who wants to send my half of the population back 50 years. So all you men who think it's a joke, the joke's on you because you'll be stepping backwards too, shotgun wedding anyone?

Obama just stole wrote:

716 billion from Medicare, and half of this country is women. That is thousands of dollars per person.
So....free Medicaid women are more important to him, than struggling, middle working class women?
I get it.

Women’s issues since Obama’s Arrival:

- Signed equal pay act; still pays White House male staffers more.
- 750,000 more women now unemployed.
- More woman on food stamps than ever.

Hiring Valarie Jarrett – arguably Obama’s brain, without any vetting of her real estate acts in Chicago, her Iranian roots and relationships in Chicago troubling given how tightly she controls access to Obama and his policies.

My employer will more than likely drop my health insurance because of Obamacare....cheaper for them to pay the fine of 2K a year than insure me.
Yes, the president who is responsible for taking our choices away, Obama, will have us all in the "pool' before we know it. This is NO longer America......and some of you are too blind to see what is happening here.

Thanks Obama, thanks a lot. The majority of the country said NO to your bill, and you rammed on, and voted, and revoted and revoted, and made deals until you got the wishes of the progressive far left pushed through, thumbing your nose in the face of the majority of America.......thanks a lot.

by the Democrats. Their simple sheeple will simply believe them, and disregard numbers from the gov's own site.
Four more years will leave us in the gutter.
Debt up, on his watch, from 10 trillion to 16 trillion.

was the perfect example of how the Dems like to keep women dependent....on the government.

No father for Miss Julia's children....yeppie....keep her dependent on big daddy government, funded by taxpayers being extorted.

Ugly truth is, the more children single women have, the deeper it digs them into poverty, but gov big daddy gives them JUST enough to get by. Therefore, there is limited desire, fire, hunger to do better. Disgusting philosophy in my book.

I work with a lady wrote:

who had a baby as a teenager, dad ditched her. She got on the system, and I love her story of how she got off. She said that she was actually worried, and had a cloud of fear overcome her, because her food stamps were buying her some pretty yummy stuff, shrimp and all, and she realized that she did not want a lifetime of dependency, so she pulled herself up by her bootstraps and went back to school. She met another man, and got married, has a successful career....but she is an exception.

It keeps most women who visit it, in it's dark grip of dependency. That certainly plays into self-esteem, which affects how they raise their children....who don't fare nearly as well as children in other demographics. There is proof in those numbers too, but again, it is ignored by the left.
Nothing pretty about wanting to keep people down.
Thanks, LBJ.

Married to the gov't, taken care by the gov't, paid for by the gov't taxpayer's money...in other words, dependent/enslaved by the gov't. If you so called women's rights activists don't see that, then you deserve to be under the control of the gov't.

If you look at the cost of these programs, they are unsustainable, even if we took all of the one percent's money away and gave it to welfare. It is huge and growing like cancer. In raising children, your goal is to make them independent in the long run. The gov's nanny state does not get the basics of parenting.

Women:
Do you want "equal pay"? Here's how to get it:
-Negotiate higher salaries
-Take higher pay in lieu of benefits
-Don't have kids

If you follow these three simple steps, you too can make as much as a man.

President Barack Obama does NOT have a “keen appreciation” for women’s issues whatsoever. Have you have ever wondered why so many women lose custody when they report domestic violence? There is a $10 Million grant from the Office of Violence Against Women (OVW-2012) dedicated to helping violent fathers
get custody of crime victims. Thousands of children are taken from their loving homes because of this grant as well as other HHS programs called Access and Visitation Grant and Responsible Fatherhood Initiative.http://www07.grants.gov/search/search.do?&mode=VIEW&oppId=196233 Remove these grants from society. All women MUST demand accountability from the federal government(OBAMA & Jarrett) why
kids are being taken from the loving home by such a web of corruption that begins at the entrance into domestic violence centers and ends when the Judge seals the file after children are taken.. Mom's OPPOSE this funding. Women OPPOSE this fundng. How do we as a society STOP this
funding? Trafficking of children is SICK and it's happening everywhere in the United States! The facts are clear: Father's Rights Initiatives is one of the largest businesses in America, with " President Obama", increasing the taxpayer dollars funneled to them. President Obama is dedicated to protecting abusive father's rights and could care less about WOMEN!! That is why so many children are being taken by the courts with collusion, rigged cases and steering. STOP IT NOW OBAMA! nafcj.net

Its so unclear to me how ANY political party or government body can ignore lack of Justice for children when money which is legal power. Can say they are about their future. I don't see unethical high powered officials ever held accountable. Or justice allowed when abusers are given more civil liberties due to money and the father's initiative. I am sick of rich people having all the power and my child sold by the system. Who do we trust anymore
